Damp .....

10th January 2022 (Monday)    07.30 .... It’s an overcast and damp start to


the day, though not actually raining;  having said that,  sunrise isn’t until 08.39 so it’s dark right now, with the street lights, and the occasional car brightening things up.   There’s an increasing chance of  ‘light rain and a fresh breeze’ as the day progresses,.... but mostly for the West of Fife.   Right now it’s just dark, damp and windless at Elie and Earlsferry.

09.30     I’ve been to the beach, and caught a nice ‘red sky in the morning etc’ sunrise.    There is the threat of light rain, and there’s a mauchless feel to the air;  not as bad as the other day, and it should improve when/if the wind freshens.   I’m not sure about going to Kinneuchar;  I'll have a cuppa then see what the weather is doing.


16.30    After a generally grey day, the afternoon ended brightly; there was a bit of red in it so a bonnie day ahead tomorrow.  Actually tomorrow could be a good drying day;  the forecast is for ‘wall to wall sunshine with a moderate breeze’.  That’s not exactly how the weather forecasters put it, but it’s going to be bright and sunny.  

I went to Kinneuchar for the kirk walk at 10.00,  though I didn’t do the actual walk;  however I think I’ll do the walk on Wednesday (St Minnins), because they are  short, comfortable speed walks.... and I might be able to cope with that.  That said, as soon as I get to the harbour at St Minnins I’ll be sidetracked, and end up going out on the middle pier.

There has been a touch of ‘mauchless’ this afternoon, so I didn’t go out; choosing instead to assist Sherlock Holmes.   I missed the end (nae surprise there), but feel refreshed after a braw cat-nap.

21.30    I’m looking forward to a sunny day tomorrow;  no ‘plan’ as to what I will do, but


I am sure that we will all enjoy the sun.   I might go up to Balcarres and take a walk round the Woodland walk.  On Wednesday I look forward to d doing the ‘St Minnins stroll’ with the kirk group;  ‘strolling’ is my speed nowadays.   When I was young I enjoyed running, now I enjoy strolling;    the speed  might be different, but the enjoyment is the same.   I’m feeling content, and ready for bed.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with time to spare   Janice was dropped off near a shopping centre, and Michael went wi
